[Intro]
D G Bm A G x2
[Verse]
D
Carry them over your shoulders, you fear
G
The absence, the void you'll cause
Bm
When you choose to leave them all here
AG
There's no turning back, it's time that you steer
D
The wide open stairs back alone at the cusp
GBm
The self that you thought you lost, the shine that burned well into rest
AG
You can't hear my voice cause' I'm not loud enough
DG
Believe me, when I say
Bm A G (palm mute)
It's a long way back from here
[Pre-chorus]
(palm mute)

Goodbye for now
[Chorus]
GDBmA
Hang on, it's clear that the roads about to get rough
GDBmA
Oh, can you hear the ringing its left in my ear?
GD
Over and over, the light hits the dusk
ABmDG
It's a choice that I make but for us I choose to give it all up
DAD
You want me here? Well, then ask me to stay
[Verse]
D
The glistening wet concrete, the heat off the road
G
The clamoring hands and the bus you call home
BmAG
This is it, believe what you want, in this space, I don't fit
D
The same day repeats with the things that you see
G
Dirty dressing room carpets and broken TVs
BmAG
Is this it? In this water I'll tread til' the day that I'm dead
[Chorus]
GDBmA
Hang on, it's clear that the roads about to get rough
GDBmA
Oh, can you hear the ringing its left in my ear?
GD
Over and over, the light hits the dusk
ABmDG
It's a choice that I make but for us I choose to give it all up
DAD
You want me here? Well, then ask me to stay
[Bridge]
D
Goodbye for now, echoes, echoes
Mile marker, minutes, hours
DG
If this is it and there is no more
And you believe that's true
AG
It's a long way back from here
D (play same pattern as pre-chorus here twice over)
There's no going home
[Chorus]
GDBmA
Hang on, it's clear that the roads about to get rough
GDBmA
Oh, can you hear the ringing its left in my ear?
GD
Over and over, the light hits the dusk
ABmDmG
It's a choice that I make but for us I choose to give it all up
DAD
You want me here? Well, then ask me to stay
[Outro]
GDBmA

Well, then ask me to stay

Well, then ask me to stay

Well, then ask me to stay
GDAD
(Goodbye for now, echoes, echoes)
Well, then ask me to stay
